The entry fee for an adult is $18 and the entry fee for a student is $8 . The father and son from the Thompson family notice that after paying the entry fees and after 5 rides for the son and 3 for the adult, they have each spent the same amount. If the cost of a ride is the same for an adult and a student, write an equation and solve it to determine the cost of a ride.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

answer: no

step-by-step explanation: because the big angle will spread away the 2 side that it is on and make the opposite side even longer.
